lyrics

If I could concede:
Looking back,
never thought that I would miss the throng
or the stampede.

I spent my life
Avoiding crowds
And everyone making them
And everyone who opened their heart to me.

I’ve built a wall
It’s a marvel of science
But it’s too tall.


If I could explain:
Never thought that I’d miss
Getting trampled and left in the rain.

Been left alone for far too long.
I’m falling for pranks again.
I’m falling down a trap door that I installed.

I traded my car
for a day pass to paradise
But it’s too far.


If I could describe
How I felt that year,
Oh the words would just seem so contrived.

If memory is all we know
Between fate and happenstance
Look back and turn into a pillar of salt.

I pegged myself for a victim of circumstance
But it’s my fault.

Oh God, just give me more time.
And I’ll waste it all again.
